The CONSENSUS Institute for CONSTRUCTED ENVIRONMENT & SUSTAINABLE URBAN SYSTEMS.


The Consensus Institute is a non-profit corporation dedicated to increasing the long term sustainability and resiliency of the built environment.

The institute is dedicated to three areas of research and activity:

  • The urban metabolism – tracking the pathways for energy, water and materials, as they flow from nature through the constructed environment and back to nature;
  • The dynamics of urban systems – exploring ecological models for integrating and transforming urban systems at local, regional, and global scales; and
  • Planning and design paradigms – developing and testing new methods and tools for integrated design, collaborative decision-making, and adaptive management.
